In the early 1800s, traders and trappers came from Canada, Russia, Latin America, and the United States into what is now [[Oregon]] and [[Washington]]. In 1811 John Jacob Astor, an American, established the first white settlement in Oregon. Most early settlements of the 1830s and 1840s were in the Willamette River Valley. In 1843 more than 900 emigrants came to Washington from Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa. | In the early 1800s, traders and trappers came from Canada, Russia, Latin America, and the United States into what is now [[Oregon]] and [[Washington]].
